    Star Drek:Discovery

    Agreed the lighting in the show is terrible. I almost want to crank my brightness up on my display when watching it. I also can't stand modern CGI effects. The ships are unremarkable and during battles things happens so quickly and are so busy, you can't follow what's going on. Same crap as...

    Marantz SR-7012 or Yamaha RX-A3070

    John; Between the SR7012 and RX-A3070, I'd pick the 3070 especially if you plan on using the internal amp section. Alternatively, if you wait a few months, Marantz will be releasing the SR8012 for $3k and it will be the king of all Atmos receivers.

    Sony PlayStation VR & PS4 Review - Should You Go PS4 Pro or No?

    I'll admit it, when Sony last year announced plans to release their own virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 4 -- a five-year-old console -- I was skeptical.
